Small Stamp Mill

Back at the workbench to finish off the mill details

I built the loading dock out of scale lumber, 2X8 for the deck, 4X6 and 6X6 for the framing and legs. I stained all the wood gray before gluing.

attached to the structure.
Then I started on the tall smoke stack for the boiler/steam engine. I used brass for it's strength.

I soldered a 1" x1" square of brass to the stack, using a butane torch.

Then I formed a small loop and soldered that onto the short length of slightly larger tubing to for the collar and guy-wire attachment.

then that was slid down the stack and glued into place. I didn't want to solder the collar to the stack since the heat would probably melt the solder bonding the ring.

I glued the stack to the roof with medium thickness CA. Now it's time for the corrugated roofing.
